Dear Benjamin, your edit left the said article messed up. In particular, you replaced events with variables in the section on the conditional independence of events. Compare here [1]. Also, the statement "if and only if ..." does not make sense, strictly speaking, for several reason, including the way you define Z and because you don't specify whether P is a probability of event, a PMF or PDF.
Please revert your changes and refrain from making significant changes to articles when you lack sufficient expertise.

- thanks for pointing this out; you are right that the text i had written incorrectly conflated events with random variables. apropos of that, you are also correct that is not a meaningful statement when is a random variable. i would rather not revert the entire edit; it contains a few additions that i think are worth keeping, namely a proof that was oddly missing, and some inline links to other definitions. however, i have introduced a new edit that corrects the issues you noted. it looked very much like this important article had not received sufficient attention in a while, and i elected to be bold, rather than let the other shortcomings linger. apologies for introducing an error, but it should now be corrected.
